Field notes
The site distinguishes a truck’s published tow rating from the payload figure on the yellow door label, then demonstrates the difference with passengers, bed cargo, and a 15% tongue-weight calculation. Its examples also attach source types to costs, including dealer quotes, inspector-published pricing, and J.D. Power depreciation figures. The page says one guide is 35 pages across five parts, while the companion checklist covers 25 claims and both downloads carry a seven-day refund.
